ArticlesThe Compact Monthly Archive Widget has just been released at 1.0.
This widget has been on the sidebar on the left of OddThinking for 9 months, but now it is available for you own WordPress blog.
Everything you need to know is on the plug-in’s home page.
The exciting part is not the widget itself, but the fact that it is hosted by WordPress – that’s a big change from EmailShroud and CRCRLF which are only hosted here.
That meant learning Subversion (which has been on my list for a while).
It also meant learning Trac as a developer, rather than merely a reporter. Note: I haven’t worked out how to get this component added to the Trac component list, so you can’t report bugs that way, yet. 
Finally, it meant learning the WordPress/BB Readme.txt format, which I still haven’t nailed because the screenshot included with the readme is 404ing.

Don’t get used to Subversion. Move up to something better before it rots your brain too much.

Aristotle: Svn is the evolution of old Cvs.
Did you invent a newer, more advanced, system?

Hi. I like the plugin. I want to ask you 2 things:
1) How I can use the plugin when I’m not using sidebar widgets. I mean, Is it possible to use the plugin in an “old school” way?
2) Is it possible to use a timestamp different from my locale language?.
Thanks in advance! (sorry for my bad english).

Matias,
I had to look at the code to remember this…
Sorry,
1) No, I use the widget framework to look after most of the context, so it can’t run as an old-school plugin. (You are, of course, welcome to adapt it.)
2) The WordPress locale is used to find out the names of the months. It doesn’t have to be the same locale as the operating system on the server, but it does have to be the same locale as the WordPress instance.
I’d be interested to hear why you would like it to be different; sounds like an unusual need.
